Fortune Beyond Compare

Xiang Yang used his palm as a blade, releasing qi like a spring as he unleashed Seven Limits: Sea Breaker. Its immense power truly exceeded the expectations of all the Innate masters present. What shocked them even more was that Chu Canglan had nearly died beneath that strike.

The red-clad man and the thin-faced man on the black-canopied boat could only suffer beneath the aftermath of the two men's battle. Their limbs were powerless as they watched Xiang Yang's blade qi cut through the air toward Chu Canglan, yet they could do nothing.

At that critical moment, the river beneath everyone's feet suddenly rang with an incomparably loud and deep beastly roar. A towering wave, as though capable of overturning mountains and seas, surged high into the air. White spray rose several hundred meters before crashing down toward Xiang Yang.

Hidden beneath the waves was a long serpent over twenty meters in length, looking much like some monstrous beast.

Its scales were jet-black and gleamed with a metallic luster. Its cross-shaped snake pupils brimmed with savagery and violence. Its huge jaws opened wide, their absurd proportions seemingly large enough to swallow a tiger, as it lunged at Xiang Yang, whose blood dripped across the wet timber.

No one had expected such a monster to lurk in the river that ordinary people relied upon as a waterway. Nor did they know whether Heaven simply refused to aid him, for just as Xiang Yang was about to kill Chu Canglan, this serpent had emerged and targeted Xiang Yang directly, intending to devour him.

No one knew how many years this serpent had lived. Its blood and qi were dense and cold, and it could slightly manipulate the power of water between Heaven and earth. It was not a threat to be underestimated.
